 In the current cloud era of computing, this represents vast problems for both service providers and their customers. Providers experience increased power consumption, cooling requirements, customers, on the other hand, are required to pay more for consumed system resources \cite{tahir2017mining}.

-Represents managed services by specialists that offer mining power using cloud service providers. Due to managed service providers (MSP) markup, this way of mining is not as profitable and not recommended among Monero community in general.

 \section{Mining software}
+\subsubsection{Official}
+Can be obtained at the official web of the Monero cryptocurrency project at https://getmonero.org/downloads/ . This is an official wallet software that includes solo mining client and cannot be used for pool mining.
+
+\subsubsection{Community-driven}
+Is a category that incorporates opensource mining software projects that have sourcecode published on the Github. Mostly used are:

+\subsubsection{Proprietary}
+Having closed source code that community cant inspect, mining software of this category has less reputation compared to the community-driven. This is caused mainly by the fact that the exact produced hash rate and client reported hash rate differed in the past at least regarding the MinerGate miner available at \url{https://minergate.com/downloads/gui} .
